i wouldn't say its sad, just there's no reason for someone to know it if they don't have a job related to it or if their interests lie elsewhere. |

I agree with his wording, it's not 'sad' rather he should have said FUN!
Even going back to DOS in the early 90's was fun -it taught you a lot about how computers worked what with HIGHMEM,EXPANDED MEM, Making boot discs, editing config files and so forth. Remember all devices weren't 'plug'n'play' so drivers had to be loaded for everything.
Like video recorders and everything electrical nowadays, you just switch the PC on and it automaticaly sets it's self up and loads drivers and windowXX.
Thanks to the industry and most of all people, it's turned future generations into lazy lethargic, obese blobs who don't have to move to turn a TV channel or set the video. This in turn let's these people eat more,drink more and die younger. Simply because mums & dads haven't passed down hobbies or interests and would rather 'technology' kept their kids quiet |
